Crist thinks GOP shouldn't spend money on marriage amendment

[Doondoo]

The Republican Party of Florida shouldn't continue financially supporting an effort to put a gay marriage ban into the state constitution, Gov. Charlie Crist said Tuesday.

The party contributed $300,000 to Florida4Marriage.org last year, the group that tried to place a question on the November ballot that would define marriage as a union between one man and one woman. The group failed to gather enough signatures and is now aiming for the 2008 ballot. The state Republican Party's contributions account for nearly three-fourths of what the group has raised so far.

Crist said the party "probably" shouldn't continue to spend money on the effort.

"It can be better spent on other things that may be more pressing, like elections," Crist said. "I think that the people care about issues like insurance premiums. They care about property taxes. They care about public safety, and I think it's important that not only those of us in government, but the party focus on those issues, too."

1. Crist is acting like a Democrat.

Good for him. On the home insurance issue, he did more in three weeks than Jeb did in six years.

2. He's gay

Crist is gay, that's why he's doing this. Maybe that's what we need, more gay Republicans.

(maybe it will be a man that gives us a reason to impeach him)
